Our unique rating system takes into account a range of different indicators to evaluate a school's performance. The system tracks achievement, attendance, teaching, how well the school is preparing pupils for the future and whether it is improving.

Data may be missing for some indicators because it has not been published. This may be because the school is new or because it is very small so data has been suppressed to avoid identifying individual pupils. Schools do not lose points for missing data, so will still fare better in the ranking than schools that underperform on that indicator, but they cannot score as highly as schools that perform well on the indicator.

Schools that have opened in recent years and are yet to have pupils sit GCSEs are flagged as NEW, and are not scored on any of the indicators.

Attainment

How have pupils at Stratford Upon Avon School done in their GCSEs and how does it compare to Local Authority and national averages?

The government introduced the Attainment 8 measure in 2016. It measures pupil performance across maths, which is double weighted in the score, English, also double weighted, three qualifications included in the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) and three other approved qualifications (GCSE or equivalent). The higher the average score the better pupils at the school are doing.

English and Maths GCSEs taken in 2017 were graded on the new system of 9-1 grades, where 5 is a strong pass, equivalent to a high C and 4 is a standard pass, where the bottom of the boundary aligns with the bottom of a previous grade C.

In 2017 the average Attainment 8 score per pupil at Stratford Upon Avon School was 48.8.

Progress

The Progress 8 measure was also introduced by the Government in 2016. It is calculated for each pupil by comparing their Attainment 8 score to the scores of all pupils nationally with similar prior achievement at the end of primary school. The school's Progress 8 score is the average of all those scores.

A score of 0 means pupils have made similar progress during secondary school to similar pupils across England. Above 0 means more progress and below 0 means less progress. Below 0 doesn't mean pupils have made no progress or negative progress, just less progress than comparable pupils.
